Zehntbauer Swim Pavilion

The Zehntbauer Swimming Pavilion opened in 1969. It sits on the
site of the old gym, which was destroyed by a fire on Sept. 12,
1966. Zehntbauer is named for two friends of the College, C.R. and
John Zehntbauer, founders of the company that became Jantzen. One

The Zehntbauer Swimming Pavilion houses an eight-lane, 25-yard
pool with one and three-meter diving boards. The pavilion, with its
new fully automatic Daktronics timing system, has been the site of
an NAIA National Swimming Championship meet.

Zehntbauer also features a new state-of-the-art Daktronics
scoreboard that made its debut in the 2004-05 swim season. There is
room for 300 specatators at swimming events in the Pavillion. Brand
new starting blocks we put in during the summer of 2012.
